Torn // Emilio Martinez

Chapter 53

Bella

I looked at the clock for what felt like the 100th time. 12:30. I had been sitting alone in my room since 9am when I woke up. 3 and a half hours.

I refused to leave. My head pounded and the nausea came flooding back when I thought about having to see Emilio or Marcus after last night. I was mad at both of them and wanted to scream and cry, but at the same time I just wanted to forgive them and go back to how things were before. I didn't know how they were going to live together after what happened, but I couldn't kick either of them out.

My stomach started to grumble and I sighed, deciding I should leave my room to grab something to eat, hopefully able to avoid both boys on the way to and from the kitchen. I walked out in my pajamas and skipped down the stairs, going into the kitchen.

Thankfully, it was just Lucas who was sitting by the island, quietly eating a bowl of cereal by himself.
"Hey Lukey," I smiled weakly. I'm sure he knew what happened between Marcus and Emilio, but I was grateful that he didn't bring it up to me.
"Where is everyone?" I asked.
"I'm not sure actually," he shrugged. I shrugged back and went to the fridge, grabbing an apple and biting into it. I sat at the island across from Lucas. I was mad at his brother, but I didn't need to be mad at him. We talked about how neither of us had plans for the day, video ideas we had come up with, getting a dog, just anything and everything like we used to.

Footsteps came into the room and I turned around and saw Marcus. I stood up off of the chair and looked down.
"I'll see you later Lucas, love you," I said, waving and turning around and jogging back up to my room, shutting the door and lying back down on my bed, trying to drown out my thoughts with the sound of the apple crunching in my mouth.

Lucas

Bella said bye to me and left back upstairs, leaving Marcus and I alone.
"She's still not talking to you, huh?" I asked, getting up to put my bowl in the dishwasher.
"No, I messed up bad Lucas," he sighed, putting his hands through his hair.
"What do I do?" he asked desperately.
"I don't think you can do anything. She needs time, but I think she'll come back around, she always does," I shrugged. Marcus messed up horribly, and I didn't know if this would mess everything up forever, but I really believe that Bella always looks for the good, and she has a big enough heart to forgive Marcus.
"But there's no way we can live with the other twins," I added.
"I know, but we can't leave. We came here to live with Bella and Alissa," Marcus answered.
"Yeah, they probably don't want to leave either," I added.

It was a sticky situation, and we had no idea who were going to be the set of twins to leave the house, I was just really hoping that it wasn't going to be us.

Bella

There was a knock at the door, and I wearily asked who it was.
"It's me," Emilio said. I stayed silent, not answering. The door was locked, so he couldn't just walk it.
"Babe, please talk to me. I'm sorry," he pleaded.
"I don't want to talk," I answered quietly, not even sure if he heard me.
"B, please, I just want to properly apologize," he said, his voice muffled by the door in between our conversation.
"Not now Emilio," I said.

I didn't say anything else.
